Currently I have a sly MK 4 fixed dish and a humax HDR freesat box. I have vermin broadband, and vpyr VPN setup. I also have a dedicated HTPC for watching movies.
I have been thinking of getting a new box for a while, but I am not sure what to get. What I want to get out of it is to have something to play around with and any extra channels are a bonus.
I am not bothered about twin satellite tunners, But a DVD-s2 & DVD-c tuner hybrid sounds interesting. Do these work well on cable? are they worth getting? I am currently looking at the following:
hybrid tuners:
miraclebox mini premium
gigablue hd800se +
or
technomate nano or
skystar PCI card for the HTPC
I don't want to spend a lot of money.
What are your thoughts? might help me make up my mind.....
